The governor Axel Kicillof asked this thursday that “they return to the Province the resources that the Supreme Court took” of Justice when it ruled in favor of increasing co-participating funds to the government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Airesat the end of December.
“They have to return the resources to the province of Buenos Aires. In the province there are no schools, hospitals, routes and we came to do them but we need them to return the resources that the Supreme Court took,” Kicillof said on social networks. And he added, already facing the electoral campaign, that “what is in dispute is whether we continue to expand rights or the right returns. We are going to continue guaranteeing the right to the future for the entire province.”
The statements came after the criminal complaint that Kicillof, in his capacity as the main provincial authority, filed on Wednesday in the federal courts of La Plata against Silvio Roblesspokesman for the president of the Supreme Court, Horace Rosattiand the Buenos Aires Minister of Security and Justice, Marcelo D’Alessandrofor “influence peddling crimes” and “failure to fulfill the duties of a public official” for the chats that were published in which both talked about the strategies to obtain a ruling in favor of the Court in the dispute over co-participating funds.
The complaint fell to the Federal Court No. 1 of La Plata, in charge of Alejo Ramos Padillawho immediately ordered “to carry out a broad certification in order to evaluate possible connections and/or the existence of causes with the same procedural purpose” and said that it is “public knowledge” that there are at least three other complaints related to the same fact.
The Buenos Aires Minister of Justice, Julio Alak, assured this Thursday that the objective of the criminal complaint is to “verify the veracity of the facts” that are described in an exchange of chats broadcast by the media. “If these maneuvers are confirmed, it would be verified that they were not innocent chats, but that they were linked to the design of a sentence of the highest court. It is a fact of the highest institutional gravity. For this reason, the Governor filed the complaint,” Alak assured in statements to Radio Province.
The minister argued that Kicillof “has a double responsibility because as a public official he has the obligation to report when he notices a crime, and an institutional one that is to defend the heritage of all Buenos Aires residents.” “We have well-founded suspicions that the ruling was designed, as the chats say, between a high-ranking official of the Court and the Minister of Justice of the beneficiary city. It is a decision by the Court that further exacerbates the asymmetries that exist. It is a failure that takes the pavement out of Lomas de zamorathe sewers you need The slaughterthe lighting works to Quilmes“, he pointed out.
